“Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it—every, every, minute?”

Directions: Write a letter to someone you know. Persuade him/her to realize something. There is one stipulation: write in a kind tone. This is easier said than done.
Here’s a blueprint for your draft:
Open on a lighter note.
Use sensory language to help the reader relive a specific situation.
Demonstrate an understanding of his/her side of things.
Explicitly state the realization you’re after. Explain why this realization is so important. What’s in it for the reader? What’s in it for you?
End on a positive and encouraging note.
Tips: Avoid absolutes like “always” and “never.” Avoid overusing “you.”
